Ancestral hall.
"My lord, there are not enough seats." Subordinates to report.
The old face of the ancestral hall family is as heavy as water: "Bring tables and chairs from the school, and fill the front yard and middle courtyard."
"There are too many people coming, and there are even more and more postures, something is wrong!"
The ancestral hall elder smelled the conspiracy.
"Go, urge Ning Zhuo! Why is this kid walking so slowly? It's not even now, many family elders have come, does he put on such a big score?"
The ancestral hall elder knows very well: the longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the main vein.
At this time, someone suddenly reported: "The young clan elder has arrived ——!"
The ancestral hall elders and others immediately got up and left the middle hall to greet them.
Ning Xiaoren came to the ancestral hall one step ahead, and when he saw the ancestral hall elder, he immediately walked forward quickly and bowed to the ancestral hall elder.
When the ancestral hall elder heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank.
At this moment, Ning Youfu and Ning Zhi and his party also arrived.
The ancestral hall elder said a scene, quickly got rid of Ning Xiaoren, and went to greet Ning Youfu.
The ancestral hall family laughed: "Elder Fu, you are here! It's really rare to give your juniors the opportunity to listen to your teachings."
Ning Youfu smiled: "I don't have much time left, and I wanted to live a leisurely life, but this matter arose and I had to come. Next to me, it is Ning Zhuo's uncle Ning Ning."
The ancestral hall elder sighed and took the initiative to lead the way, asking Ning Youfu and Ning Responsibility to enter the ancestral hall.
During this period, Ning Xiaoren sent a message to him, but he only did not know and did not respond.
The people in the ancestral hall came to urge Ning Zhuo and whispered to Ning Zhuo: "Ning Zhuo, you have done a great job. Now there are many elders over there in the ancestral hall, but you haven't even finished half the journey."
Ning Zhuo quickly apologized, saying that the clansmen had consulted too much, and it was a waste of time to explain one by one.
After the people in the ancestral hall left, Ning Zhuo still went his own way, even slower.
Thanks to his continuous explanations, more and more people of the clan gathered around him.
The size of his team swelled to more than sixty people.
When turning a street corner, an old man with a cane in his hand and three attendants looked at Ning Zhuo from a distance and waved to him slightly.
Someone in Ning Zhuo's team suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, it's the old man of the Ning Hou Army!"
Ning Houjun was also an elder in the family and an elder in the battle hall. It's just that he voluntarily resigned more than ten years ago and has been enjoying his old age at home.
Like Ning Youfu, Ning Houjun is also a member of the branch clan and has a high reputation.
Ning Zhuo hurriedly quickened his pace, came to Ning Houjun, and saluted deeply.
Ning Houjun looked at Ning Zhuo up and down, and praised: "Okay, the young man is dignified and high-spirited, and he looks like a young man."
"I heard about you."
"Let's go with you to the clan ancestral hall this time."
Ning Zhuo thanked him, and the clansmen around him began to cheer, saying that with the company of the old man Ning Houjun, this trip would definitely be a success!
Ning Zhuo and Ning Houjun walked side by side, talking in words while secretly transmitting sounds.
Ning Houjun asked: "Young man, do you know who is the most critical person in this operation?"
Without thinking, Ning Zhuo replied: "It's the ancestor."
He was not talking about the ancestor, but the Jindan ancestor.
Ning Houjun glanced at Ning Zhuo, his eyes showed appreciation, and continued to transmit: "Yes, you can see it clearly."
"My clan's ancestor is not the main line, and the Jindan ancestor of the main vein has great favors to him. Therefore, the ancestor took care of the main vein a lot. But he himself has no direct blood descendants."
"Therefore, more than ten years ago, the branches of our clan gathered together to attack the main vein. Although it failed, the ancestor did not come forward to say anything during the whole process."
Ning Zhuo nodded: "If that's the case, then I will definitely win this time."
"That's right." Ning Houjun smiled silently and continued to transmit, "Old man, I have always liked to win battles. Otherwise, how could I join your group? This time, it's just a matter of winning more and winning less."
Clan ancestral hall.
The head of the Ning family is here.
The patriarch was expressionless: "Then Ning Zhuo hasn't come yet?"
Immediately, send someone to urge.
When the messenger saw Ning Zhuo, he was originally arrogant, but was scolded by Ning Houjun: "The old man is old, what's wrong with walking slower?"
"You go and tell the patriarch, he is so anxious, is he in a hurry to urinate or is he in a hurry to poop?"
The envoy ran back calmly, naturally not daring to report it as it was, only saying that the Ninghou army was there.
The patriarch took a deep breath and endured it.
The old man of the Zhantang family laughed: "After so many years, the old man Ning Houjun still has such a big temper."
"I don't know, how has his son been doing since he was expelled from the family?"
"In recent years, have you written to the old man of the Ning Hou Army?"
It wasn't until the sun was high and close to noon that Ning Zhuo and his party arrived at the clan ancestral hall.
The size of the team has exceeded 100 people.
However, there were more people in the ancestral hall.
The vast majority of people around Ning Zhuo could only stand outside the ancestral hall wall and listen.
Even so, there is no good location.
The entire clan ancestral hall is surrounded by clansmen, with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Ning Zhuo, Ning Houjun, and Wang Lan were introduced into the ancestral hall.
All the high-ranking officials of the Ning family have come.
Ning Zhuo saw Ning Zhen, Ning Ji, the head of the Ning family, and of course Ning Xiaoren.
Ning Xiaoren's face was ashen, staring at Ning Zhuo, his neck was stretched and hooked, his fierceness was like a vulture about to die.
As soon as Ning Zhuo clasped his hands and wanted to speak, Wang Lan suddenly howled: "Master, you have finally been rescued! Then Ning Xiaoren didn't do anything to you again, did he?"
Ning Wei walked out of the crowd, hugged Wang Lan, and said in a deep voice: "It was me who was saved by Fu Lao himself! Let me get out of Ning Xiaoren's clutches!"
Along the way, Ning Zhi already knew the whole story.
Although Ning Xiaoren continued to threaten and seduce him, Ning Ren had made up his mind!
Joke.
"Do I really feel good every time I get hit on the head?!"
"Do you really think I have no temper?!"
Ning Zhen's wife Wang Lan had already stepped forward on stage, the people of the Ning family branch were excited, the general trend had become a trend, and the truth was like this, Ning Xiaoren really did not give Ning Zhuo any cultivation resources, and he really framed Ning Zuo.
All along, the humiliation Ning Wei suffered and the accumulated resentment and resentment made him choose Ning Zhuo's side without hesitation.
Hearing Ning Zhen's words, Ning Xiaoren's heart sank to the bottom, and his whole body was cold.
His only turning point was in Ning Zhen.
At this moment, it was like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, drifting away.
Human and physical evidence are available, and Ning Xiaoren has no room for refutation.
At the beginning, he framed Ning Zhi on a temporary basis, who let Ning Zhuo rise suddenly. There are too many flaws in the whole incident, if it is better to cooperate, it is better to say that it is better to go against the water, and there are countless evidences.
It is easy for other clansmen to verify.
All kinds of ironclad evidence are like a mountain!
"Ning Xiaoren!" The head of the Ning family shouted angrily, pulled off the rope of the waist card, and smashed the waist card directly at Ning Xiaoren.
Ning Xiaoren wore it on his head and waist, and immediately bleeded.
He knew that defeat was predetermined, and there was no hope of survival, and he was tough enough at the last moment.
He let his head bleed and bowed to his father: "Patriarch, I did something wrong and have no face to the family. I admit all punishments!"
And this is also Ning Xiaoren's last performance.
The head of the Ning family immediately announced that Ning Xiaoren would be removed from the position of young patriarch and imprisoned in the dungeon for three years. Three years later, he was expelled from the family and exiled, and only the family sacrifice was allowed to return to the family to worship the ancestors for the rest of his life.
"The patriarch is wise, righteous and destroys relatives!"
As soon as the verdict came out, countless branch clansmen inside and outside the ancestral hall cheered in unison, and the sound shook the four corners.
The elders of the main vein looked at Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo was so beautiful that he stepped on the young patriarch Ning Xiaoren with one kick. After today, he will definitely become famous throughout the clan and his reputation will skyrocket.
Even if there is only "three layers of qi refining cultivation", who would dare to underestimate such habits and actions?
That night.
Ning Zhi's house held a small banquet.
Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhi entertained Ning Youfu, Ning Houjun, two former family elders, and several family deacons such as Ning Xiangguo.
Ning Zhuo frequently toasted and thanked him, behaving humbly and politely, and sincerely asking for advice.
Ning Youfu pointed out: "As soon as this matter comes out, Ning Zhuo, you will face the main vein. Especially the patriarch, don't have any extravagant hopes to ease the relationship."
Ning Houjun sighed: "It's a pity that the patriarch broke his wrist today and abandoned the car to protect the commander, and did not drag him down as well. Only one young clan leader was defeated, and the victory was limited."
Ning Xiangguo said: "Even so, it is the only victory of our clan in more than ten years. A branch vein has convicted the young patriarch of the main line, what an exciting thing!"
Ning Zhuo looked at the people at the table, but he was guessing in his heart: Who is this traitor, the traitor of the Ning family who secretly took refuge in Faith?
Ning Zhuo took the initiative to ask, how will the main vein deal with him?
Ning Youfu smiled: "Ning Zhuo, you are now participating in the renovation team and are very skilled at exploring the fairy palace. In addition, you are in the limelight, and the main vein will not move you. So that you don't suffer unfair treatment and go to the clan ancestral hall again."
He looked down at Ning Xiangguo and said to him: "The counterattack of the main vein will come soon, and you will be the ones who suffer."
Ning Xiangguo smiled slightly: "I am mentally prepared. It's okay! Even if you are dismissed, what's the harm? The main vein does not dare to withdraw too much. After all, there are too few of them, haha."
Ning Houjun sighed: "To this day, none of the elders in the clan have our branches. This point is so passive that there is no fundamental market at all. Although there are many deacons, they can only be slaughtered."
"Fortunately, Ning Zhuo, you have talent, and you will develop steadily in the future, and you will definitely be an elder."
"Our branch vein has not produced talent for a long time. To tell you the truth, for more than ten years, I have been waiting for someone who can handle things."
"Although your cultivation is weak now, you are very good, you have temperament, and you have a wrist."
"The key point is that you have talent and are worth investing."
"Don't worry, as long as the old man is alive, I will support you with all my might!"
"You are now the banner of my clan's branch, you can't fall down."
Ning Zhuo laughed: "Things have come to this point, on the one hand, it is indeed the persecution of the main vein, and on the other hand, why don't I personally want to make progress?"
"I have talent, I am very good at exploring the fairy palace, and I still have your support, so why worry about not being able to achieve anything?"
Everyone laughed.
In the midst of laughter, everyone raised their glasses and clinked each other.
Ning Zhen swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp, and when he put down the wine glass, he looked at Ning Zhuo, his eyes were extremely complicated.
"Xiaozhuo, Xiaozhuo, it turns out that this is the real you."
"It's me who is blind, I am blind."
"Such a wrist, heart and capacity ......"
Ning Zhi felt that for the first time in his life, he truly recognized Ning Zhuo.
